"Before coming to the Italian Senate, I worked in the Economic Research Department at the WTO headquarters in Geneva. My task was to help prepare the draft of the World Trade Report 2010, the main publication of the research unit. The topic for 2010 was very appealing: we studied the relationship between natural resources and global governance. My role in the project was to manage data sets, review economic literature, and write content for the publication about specific issues and policy-relevant examples."

"I work for the Reporting and Statistics Division of the Financial Mechanism Office of the EFTA, located in Brussels. As a member of the Reporting Team I’m working mainly using my quantitative abilities creating datasets and elaborating statistics that could be useful for the evaluation of the projects financed by the EEA Grants scheme. In addition, I’m also helping the Monitoring Team with the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the projects at risk."
